Vegetarian Star

Paula Deen‘s recent controversy on the use of a racial slur has sparked many satirical skits and commentary and John Oliver from The Daily Show jumped at the chance to do the same in a segment titled “Fried and Prejudice.”

Using the Food Network chef’s history of preparing artery clogging, meat and dairy based entrees and her past health issues with diabetes, Oliver mocks Deen in several ways.

He brings out a correspondent who suggests that given her symptoms, she might have “Type I or Type II racism.”

Oliver said of Deen’s confirmed use of a racial slur:

“The n-word? Which one did she use, because I know it wasn’t non-fat? Boom!”
